So last night after a long day at work, (lately my work days have been jam packed and a little stressful). I came home to a lovely dinner that Dave prepared. It was yummy and healthy and I was very grateful! Dave suggested that we get out our sparring gear and get a quick practice in. We take Taekwondo together and it has turned out to be a wonderful, exciting, and challenging experience. He is a deputy black belt which means he’ll be a first degree when he tests again. He took Taekwondo years ago and now he’s getting back into it. I am a high yellow, I’ve tested twice, I’ve never been athletic, nor competitive (but I’m learning that somewhere deep within, I have some fury!). After warming up we put on our gear and went at it in the living room. Here we are being silly one day after class. We don’t wear shoes in TKD. Now, I’m totally against violence, it truly turns my stomach. Thankfully, Taekwondo sparring does not involve violent fighting. It’s controlled, protected and skilled (one day for me). For me, Taekwondo is about challenging myself and pushing myself past what I may have
